The Urban Growers Collective Community Herbalism Apprenticeship offers the opportunity for participants to engage with plants; to build a relationship with plants; and ultimately, to use plants for personal, family, and community healing.

This four-season, ten-month apprenticeship moves in tandem with the seasons and with the other programs at Urban Growers Collective. We’ll identify, nurture, observe, harvest, process, preserve, and re-seed herbs. Self-healing with herbs will be the primary exploration as each apprentice expands their understanding of the potential of plant medicine to support mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

The apprenticeship commitment is 100 hours. This is a hybrid in-person and virtual program that includes opportunities to engage with herbs on UGC farms as well as in-person and virtual workshops facilitated by Rev. Kim Crutcher, LCPC, and guest speakers.

The tuition exchange for the program is sliding scale from $500-$1500 with a $100 materials fee.
